Everything you need for your MBA admissions process

Your profile, your school list, your dates, your coaching, and the whole SBC library, in one place.

  1. Step 1 · Candidacy Snapshot

    Get a data-backed read on your profile

    Upload your resume and get your candidacy status based on SBC's own admissions data, along with candidacy recommendations that show you the best next steps to strengthen your profile before you apply.

  2. Step 2 · School Dashboard

    Build a school list tailored to your profile

    Tell us what you are looking for in a program and generate a list built around your preferences and your profile, or search every school we track and build it yourself. Each school brings its full data set with it: admissions stats, deadlines and rounds, essay questions and more, all in one place. The List Grader then grades the list from A to F across Reach, Target and Likely.

  3. Step 3 · Application Calendar

    Every date that matters, tracked for you

    Every round's application deadline, interview date and decision date, tracked per school with a countdown on each one. Calendar sync pushes them all into the calendar you already use, and application tracking follows each school from Applying to a decision.

  4. Step 4 · SBC AI

    Advice and essay review, backed by SBC and school data

    An advisor that has read your snapshot and answers using SBC's own admissions material and the data we hold on every school, and an essay coach that reviews your drafts against what the school is actually asking for. Type it out or talk it through on a live call. Available 24/7.

  5. Step 5 · Mock Interviews

    Practice general or school-specific interviews

    Take a general mock or one built from what a specific program actually asks, on video or by typing. Every answer comes back with feedback grounded in how real MBA interviews go: a rewritten version of what you said, plus specific notes on your content, structure, specificity and delivery.

  6. Step 6 · Explore

    Podcasts, articles, essays and interviews from the SBC library

    Thousands of pieces from twenty five years of SBC's own work, curated to what you are working on next. Save favorites for future reference.
